Herpes Zoster after sex

Hi All


I had a condom break experience in June 2006, immediately after 3 weeks i had a herpes on my left neck and left shoulder but very lite one's. they were gone after medication (I heard that chickenpox outbreak was there those days and i missed the medication in mu office as i was on vacation that day). After 3 months (October) after moving my stuff to new apartment(almost for the whole day) when i woke up in the morning I had small red itchy patch on my neck. I took the meds and was fine. After that it has been 3 yrs plus, do you think i am at risk? Please help, i sometimes get worried about this, just few days back i had a red small patch in my mouth which was fine in 2-3 days without meds. Also has a bad sinus for the first time which has again gone in few days. Please tell me if i am at risk.

Thanks Teak! Just last one question, does that itchy rash on neck without any fever or swollen glands after 3 months mean anything?

Shingles are not a symptoms of HIV. Shingles is its own virus.
